How to Freeze and Reheat Rice

Balancing a meal can be challenging, especially with a busy schedule. Convenient shortcuts like prepped rice and grains are lifesavers. However, microwaving grains in plastic pouches isn’t ideal. Try this versatile, time-saving, and cost-effective hack instead: Cook a large batch of grains—such as brown rice, quinoa, farro, barley, and couscous—at the beginning of the week, portion them into the Anytime Trays, and freeze overnight. When you need a quick side, simply pop out a portion, reheat it in an Anyday Small Dish, and enjoy a perfectly cooked, delicious addition to your meal.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
